As today is Remembrance day, or Poppy Day, at 11am British servicemen and women who have served in the armed forces since the first world war will be remembered with a two minute silence.

Cardiff Council leader Rodney Berman, chief executive Jon House and Trade Union representatives will mark Armistice Day by laying wreaths at City Hall as a tribute to all council staff that lost their lives in battle. Berman, said:

"It's important that we remember all those who have lost their lives in battle and pay our respect to those who fought for our liberty.

"In Cardiff we will mark Armistice Day and host The National Service of Remembrance for Wales on November 14. During both services we will remember those who made the greatest sacrifice."

The National Assembly for Wales will be joining the Royal British Legion in marking Armistice Day at the Senedd.

The silence will be led by presiding officer Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas AM and Tim O'Sullivan MBE, vice president of The Royal British Legion Vale of Glamorgan County.

Proceedings will begin at 10.50am with the reading of the exhortation in the Neuadd before the Senedd falls silent on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Lord Elis-Thomas AM said:

"The National Assembly, in partnership with The Royal British Legion, welcomes this opportunity to mark Remembrance in the Senedd. Members of the public are welcome to join with us to mark the Two Minute Silence."
